Covalent bonds are formed between atoms which have - unsatisfied valency - no inert gas electronic configuration - These are directional bonds - formed by sharing of electrons
Intermolecular forces - much weaker than covalent bond - These are not directional (except Hydrogen bonds) - These are more electrostatic in nature - exist between stable molecules - can be Hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole and induced dipole-induced dipole
